Opis: Elizabeth Fry - Richards Laura E.

Excerpt from Elizabeth Fry: The Angel of the Prisons

I know no pleasanter reading than the lives or memoirs of good people; fortunately, literature is full of them. When we learn of the marvelous work of So-and-so, we naturally wonder (if we are of an inquiring turn of mind) what manner of man he was; how he lived, looked, spoke; how and why he was able to work his wonders. Then we go to the nearest library, and commune with the card catalogue, or - if we are of the mousing kind - mouse about among the shelves dedicated to biography. We are pretty sure to find a life or a memoir, or at least a memorial sketch; now and then we have the luck to light on an autobiography.
